Hank Snow 'The Singing Ranger' has a great version of this song - recorded on RCA Victor in the early '50's.
Also...the reference tag should read - Jimmie Rodgers the Singing Brakeman - NOT the Singing Bra!!!

Beautiful!
I collect everything related to trains, postcards, old tickets, you name it. This is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard. Thank you very much for posting it.

Good to have this. There are also 2 more of his songs under 'Jimmy Rogers'.

A real find. Pity this is his only recording on the Archive

impressive recording quality, this social critique is one of the forgotten sources of country music. reminds me of clint eastwoods movie honkytonk man.

Cash's Ira Hayes and Rogers' The Gambler are the more modern similar classics
